Proverbs 9:1 says " Wisdom has built her house; she has set up its seven pillars." When I read that this morning, the question for all of us immediately came to mind "What are you building your house on? What pillars have you set in place as a solid foundation for your home?" What would it be like for you to sit down with your wife or husband and come up with a list of seven "Pillars" for your home! Even if you are young or unmarried, what are the seven pillars you are building your life on? If you've seen some cracks in the walls, you especially may want to revisit what foundation you may be building on!. As a good starting point, it just so happens James 3:17 describes heavenly wisdom as having seven different attributes:
Pure: Free from corrupt motives or impurity.
Peaceable: Promotes harmony and avoids strife.
Gentle/Considerate: Mild, kind, and not harsh.
Easy to be entreated/Willing to yield: Open to reason and wise counsel.
Full of Mercy & Good Fruit: Shows compassion and produces good deeds.
Impartial: Treats everyone fairly, without favoritism.
Sincere/Without Hypocrisy: Genuine and honest, without pretense. I encourage you to pray and ask God to give you wisdom on which pillars to include then share them with your family. Let them know the solid foundation you are building on. If you have any other suggestions for what you think should be on a list of seven "Pillars" to build your house/life on, feel free to share them in the comments!
